Overview

The Mersen SKU 20308 is a 3-pole fuse block designed for Class H and K fuses, rated for 250VAC and 250VDC at 30 Amps. This model features reinforced box connectors, specifically engineered for copper wire applications. The insulators are constructed from molded glass-filled polycarbonate (GFPC), offering verified dielectric strength exceeding 2500V. This fuse block accommodates a wide range of stranded or solid copper wire, with a recommended wire range of #4-14 AWG for copper box connectors. Its construction ensures compatibility with copper wires, designed with the same coefficient of expansion for improved heat cycling and meeting or exceeding OEM "no aluminum" specifications. The reinforced clips provide secure fuse contact. Mersen fuse blocks are UL listed (guide IZLT, File E52283) and CSA certified (class 6225, File 32169), meeting UL 4248 requirements. This 3-pole configuration is ideal for applications requiring reliable overcurrent protection for three separate circuits. The box connector type offers a secure termination point for copper conductors. For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to use appropriate mounting screws (#10, .190" dia. for 30A blocks).
